short track time for the Sprint Cupsters
{!name} the next stop on the NASCAR Sprint Cup circuit and in the One and Done Spring Thing is Bristol Motor Speedway. Bristol is unique and has been a track where the saying “horses for courses” could have been coined. Dale Earnhardt, Rusty Wallace and Cale Yarborough each won nine races there. Darrell Waltrip 12. They had something figured out. The Busch brothers have won six of the last thirteen Bristol tilts - Kurt has six. Might be a pick there.
We announced the first four random weekly prize winners last week. So even if you feel you’re out of contention for the top ten - which you are NOT, BTW - you can still win stuff. And - the best part - it’s fun and it’s FREE!
So tell your friends to sign up. Maybe they’re feelin’ lucky.

My Bobby Labonte pick didn’t work out too well for Atlanta. I had such high hopes too. How did you do.

Three players picked race winner Kurt Busch. Jimmy Johnson was the most popular choice though, and that didn’t work out too bad.   But the One and Done format means that all of you who have used J J, Kyle, Carl and Jeffy in the first four races will have to get out of your comfort zone pretty soon Good luck.

In case you missed it, here is the prize list for the One and Done Spring Thing.

The player who finishes with the most points, and survives any tie-breakers will receive a Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure package, good at several NASCAR tracks, including Talladega Superspeedway. You can read the experience of one of our past winners at that track right here.

That’s a great prize, for any game. And second through tenth ain’t too shabby neither.

Need a tip to help with your pick this week? Read the comments of our guest prognosticators in the side bar of this newsletter. They told me that they know what they’re talking about.

Every week we’ll ask a few folks from around the NASCAR internet community to share who they think would be a good pick for the next race.
Phil Tripp of One Lugnut Short. “How to win at Bristol? Unlike plate tracks where drivers need to miss the “big one”, winning at Bristol, a driver needs to miss 20 or so “little ones”.It is Kevin Harvick’s turn to dodge the bullet a couple dozen times Sunday afternoon and find his way to victory lane.”
MichganCircleTrack.com publisher Patrick McNamara is not just calling for a Kyle Busch win in the Sprint Cup race. Patrick predicts a weekend sweep by the Shrubster. Would you argue with someone named McNamara on St Patrick’s Day?
Fat Sandy Dirtburger of BlackFlaggedOnline.com: “I just got done picking my NCAA basketball bracket based on who was burning up the hardwood last time I watched a basketball game (sneak peak, I’ve got Arizona and Indiana in the Final Four) OK, someone just told me Indiana isn’t in the tournament this year, so I’ll go with Georgetown. I’m applying the same wisdom to the short track this weekend. You can’t go wrong with past winners Bill Elliot and Mark Martin. Tell them there’s an early bird special at the Bristol Waffle House and they’ll turn laps like malnourished lumberjacks. Or if you want a driver under age 50, go with Kurt Busch for a second week in a row. As always, you’re welcome.”
